Chapter 1220 Get Out!
Qiao Xinyue pursed her lips, her face showing obvious disbelief, but she said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, I will go."
It had to be said that Qiao Xinyue was a workplace elite. Even if she was dissatisfied, she wouldn't voice it, instead greeting him with a smile.
Chen Xuan shrugged. He could tell she didn't believe him, but he had said what he needed to say, and there was no need for more.
Soon, the elevator stopped at the thirteenth floor, the top floor of the Paradise Club.
Stepping out of the elevator and into the luxuriously decorated top floor, they were greeted by a massive floor-to-ceiling window offering a panoramic view of the entire river.
Though it was night, the river scenery was exceptionally beautiful.
Pleasure boats cruised along the river, carrying young talents from the capital who were drinking and enjoying themselves.
On both sides, many people were out enjoying themselves, couples strolling hand in hand, and harmonious families of three.
Gazing into the distance, a bright moon hung in the sky, complementing the vast expanse of the river, lending a touch of haziness to the entire riverside landscape.
At this moment, Chen Xuan seemed to understand why this hotel was called "Jiang Shang Ming Yue" (River Moon).
Suddenly, he felt a chill, and his expression changed, his pupils constricting.
He involuntarily opened his celestial eye and saw a hazy aura, following the rolling river, surging towards the entire Jiang Shang Ming Yue.
That hazy aura was dense, malevolent energy.
As the malevolent energy swept in, it cast a heavy shroud over the entire Jiang Shang Ming Yue Hotel.
Normally, if the Jiang Shang Ming Yue Hotel were affected by such malevolent energy, even with immense wealth and fortune, it would be swept away. However, the Jiang Shang Ming Yue Hotel seemed unaffected.
He looked up and understood why.
When the Jiang Shang Ming Yue Hotel was built, a feng shui master had clearly been consulted. This feng shui master had constructed plazas on the east and west sides of the hotel, forming a "Twin Fish Wealth Formation."
It was precisely this Twin Fish Wealth Formation that could withstand the dense malevolent energy.
However, this malevolent energy had not formed recently; it had been present for a long time.
From the current situation, the malevolent energy was on the verge of breaking through the Twin Fish Wealth Formation. It was likely that the formation would be shattered soon, and the Jiang Shang Ming Yue Hotel would be greatly impacted by the malevolent energy.
With this thought, he couldn't help but look towards the end of the rolling river.
He was shocked by what he saw.
The end of the rolling Yangtze River, where the water was usually clear, was now filled with dense, inky black malevolent energy.
What existed there, and why was there such dense and ancient malevolent energy?
"Mr. Chen!"
At this moment, a familiar voice broke Chen Xuan's thoughts.
Chen Xuan turned abruptly and saw Jiang Ning rushing over, his face beaming with excitement.
Seeing Jiang Ning like this, Qiao Xinyue was also taken aback.
Even though she already knew Chen Xuan was the influential figure behind Jiang Ning, even now, her expression was one of disbelief.
She couldn't understand why Chen Xuan had become such a powerful backer for Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, long time no see!"
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded.
"Mr. Chen, please sit."
Jiang Ning gestured, ushering Chen Xuan to the long white table.
Fine wines and dishes were already served, but the food was covered with metal warming domes.
As Chen Xuan and Jiang Ning took their seats, the attending staff quickly removed the warming domes, revealing exquisite and delicious dishes. The red wine was perfectly decanted.
A server picked up the red wine to pour for Chen Xuan, but Jiang Ning took the bottle from him and waved the server away, saying, "Alright, you don't need to serve us. You can leave now."
Then, to everyone's surprise, Jiang Ning eagerly came over to pour wine for Chen Xuan.
"Yes!"
Qiao Xinyue also nodded slightly, and with the staff, turned to leave.
Chen Xuan, however, impatiently began to eat and drink, forking a large piece of steak into his mouth like a ravenous ghost, with no regard for his image.
Chen Xuan had exerted a lot of physical energy throughout the day. The food he had eaten at the banquet had long since been digested.
Jiang Ning, holding his wine, was about to toast Chen Xuan. But seeing Chen Xuan eating so heartily, he showed no resentment. Instead, he took a small sip and stared intently at Chen Xuan.
Finally, Chen Xuan ate until he was half full, patted his stomach, and looked up to see Jiang Ning staring at him.
He asked with a strange expression, "Why are you looking at me like that? Let me tell you, I don't like men."
Jiang Ning almost spat out the wine in his mouth.
As if I liked men!
"By the way, how is the development of Xuan Yun Group?" Chen Xuan asked casually.
"Xuan Yun Group is developing quite well in the capital and has established a presence there!" Jiang Ning replied.
"That's good."
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
In the blink of an eye, several rounds of drinks were consumed.
"Mr. Chen, I have an urgent matter to attend to, I need to go back to Xuan Yun Group..."
Jiang Ning suddenly received a phone call, his expression not looking great. He looked up at Chen Xuan, his eyes filled with apology.
He had finally met Chen Xuan today and had wanted to drink until they were both inebriated, but an unresolvable issue had arisen.
"Do you need my help?"
Chen Xuan picked up his wine glass and said calmly.
"No, that's not necessary."
Jiang Ning didn't want Chen Xuan to think he was incompetent.
"Alright, then you go ahead. I'll finish eating and drinking before I leave," Chen Xuan waved his hand.
"Mr. Chen, the bill has been settled. I'll treat you to another meal another day."
Jiang Ning, seemingly facing trouble, left after saying this, turning and quickly departing.
"Such good wine, I'll have to drink it myself."
Chen Xuan's mood remained excellent. He picked up the expensive red wine, poured himself another large glass, and raised his glass in a toast to the jade plate hanging in the sky.
He tilted his head back!
Just as he was about to drink it all down...
Suddenly, the door to the top-floor fire escape opened, and several figures quietly entered.
The person in the lead was none other than Su Chenglong of the Su family from the capital. Su Jie and others followed behind him, all of them naturally members of the Su family from the capital.
Chen Xuan was slightly startled.
Their movements, though subtle, could not escape Chen Xuan's notice. He turned to look, and upon seeing the arrivals, his gaze sharpened.
How did these guys get in?
He didn't know Su Chenglong, but he recognized Su Jie and the others, confirming that these were indeed members of the Su family from the capital.
Suddenly, he noticed that Su Chenglong and the others had entered the top floor through the fire escape, and he seemed to understand something.
Su Chenglong spotted Chen Xuan from a distance.
He didn't recognize Chen Xuan and mistook him for the president of Xuan Yun Group, immediately saying, "I am Su Chenglong of the Su family from the capital. I have important matters to discuss with you. I apologize for the intrusion and any inconvenience caused!"
"I don't want to talk to you, get out!"
Chen Xuan commanded coldly.
Chen Xuan was very displeased by their unauthorized entry.
Especially with Su Jie, with whom he had had a conflict, present, he felt even more disgusted by these people.
Su Chenglong, being a proud man, had his expression change when he was reprimanded like this.
The others were also slightly surprised, not expecting to hit a wall immediately.
"You dare tell me to get out?" Su Chenglong said with a darkened face.
